Holocaust Remembrance / Memorial Day, is an international memorial day on 27 January that commemorates the victims of the Holocaust, which resulted in the murder of 6 million Jewish people, along with countless members of other minorities by Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945. 27 January was chosen to commemorate the date that Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army in 1945.
It is also a time for remembering other genocides around the world such as; Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
2024 HMD theme: Fragility of Freedom
https://www.hmd.org.uk/what-is-holocaust-memorial-day/
The Holocaust threatened the fabric of civilisation, and genocide must still be resisted every day. Our world often feels fragile and vulnerable and we cannot be complacent. Even in the UK, prejudice and the language of hatred must be challenged by us all.
HMD is for everyone. Each year across the UK, thousands of people come together to learn more about the past and take action to create a safer future.
Together we bear witness for those who endured genocide, and honour the survivors and all those whose lives were changed beyond recognition.

On Monday, Mrs Rudolph along with her work experience students from Kingsmead school and our pupil librarians created a display in the library where you can learn more about Martin Luther King MLK and his passionate fight for civil rights..
Although MLK Day is not a celebrated day here in the UK, it is important to remember those who have come before us, who stood up for what they believed in and were striving for a more harmonious world.
Martin Luther King Day, 15 January (his birthday) is a federal holiday in the United States, observed on the third Monday of January each year. It is a day to honour the civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and his contributions to the civil rights movement.
Martin Luther King: born 1929, assassinated in 1968.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.”
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Here are some new posters that are displayed in all classrooms and around the school.
Following on from valuable anti-discriminatory training for all staff, a zero tolerance approach is being reinforced, with fully accessible reporting systems for both staff and students.
Our goal is not solely to reprimand but to educate and transform behaviours, cultivating a more inclusive school community. All students will be comprehensively educated about anti-discrimination and the various sanctions in place. Full details were sent out to all parents earlier this week.
Our school must be a place where every pupil feels secure, valued, and empowered to reach their fullest potential.

Monday night saw the first of what hopefully will become an annual event, the Christmas Jingle & Mingle for our ex-students. It was lovely to see ‘old boys’ spanning over many years and interesting to hear old stories about the school and what they are all doing now. We had some f our current sixth formers on hand who took them on tours of the school.
Thank you to all of those who came along, especially it being a Monday night!
Enfield Grammar School (that has been part of Enfield for a very long time!) is relaunching their ‘Old Boys Association’ (Alumni) with a Jingle & Mingle event and would love to have as many generations as possible represented. The OBA has been going for over 100 years and we would like to see it going on for another 100!
